✨ Finn (As It Happens) ✨
11 y/o OTTB Gelding | 15.3–16h
Finn is now happily enjoying life as Paityn Thomann‘s lease-to-own partner, and will be her 4-H horse for both English and Western disciplines! 💛🐴
He’s personable, eager to please, and continues to shine in dressage and on the trails. Over the last 6 months, he’s been carefully developed in dressage, consistently scoring in the 60s at USDF Intro levels and earning Reserve Champion in the 2025 NODA Summer Schooling Series – Intro Level. He’s schooling Training Level movements, exploring First Level, and some Second Level work. Judges frequently comment on his lovely gaits, soft bridle, and willing attitude.
✨ Highlights
Finn’s natural movement, steady mind, and work ethic make him a joy to work with every day. He’s a wonderful example of the OTTB transformation journey at Suffield Stables, showing versatility, confidence, and joy under saddle.
💫 Fun fact: Finn continues to be a star at the barn and in the ring, inspiring other riders and demonstrating the success possible with careful, kind training!
The day before the NODA 2025 Summer Schooling Series Championship, Finn put in a lovely, steady test at the final NODA schooling show of the series! 🌟 He was a little looky at times but had some really soft and smooth moments — and we won our division in USDF Intro B with a 65.625% 🥇
Recent rides from his shows 10/4/2025 and the Championship 10/5/2025. He really impressed me with how soft and willing he was, even in an extremely busy and high energy show environment. This can be very overwhelming for many horses! He took it all in stride! :)
